There is no aspect of creation. All of the creative process is offloaded to something else. It's the middle management of art, people pretending they're creators by doing none of the work. Fundamentally what you are doing is no different than sending money to an artist to request them to draw you something. Except instead of a transaction which involves an actual artist doing work somewhere down the line, you are dictating to a model using stolen art to create something for you and then claiming you made it.

I have seen amazing works of art and music from people with zero technical knowledge. It may be rough or weird but the jagged edges is what makes it art.
> Reminder that there was no cultural preference, this was done (like in other places) to keep the industrial engine running, mainly carmakers.

Sounds like you've barely talked to people living in suburbs. A ton of the people I talk to are very pro-SFH, big easements, lot restrictions, etc. Go to a city council meeting talking about rezoning for higher density. Tell me how all those people are on the car manufacturer's payrolls.

These people want this. They keep moving further outwards willingly because they want bigger houses on bigger lots with fewer of the "others".

It's the same people who argue transit brings the homeless and crime to your area, so the way to end homelessness is to end public transit. They don't need to be on the auto industry payroll or influenced by their propaganda; isolation is the goal.
I would expect the drivetrain components (including computers) to be essentially bulletproof and only the unnecessary components like infotainment and maybe the dashboard displays to even have the option of crashing.

> The chips have biometric info (hence the name) like legal name, sex, nationality, photos, and sometimes fingerprints

... legal names and nationalities aren't "biometric info" though. Is it fair to say that the chip contains the content of the travel document at the time it was issued (doesn't the chip also include the passport number, issue/expiration dates, etc) but not the stamps/visas that are added after the passport is issued ? I think everyone gets that the chip isn't updated when you get stamped into or out of a country.

Japan itself largely began offshoring fabrication in the 1990s.

It was Japanese OSAT players like Hitachi that sparked the Penang packaging cluster in Malaysia in the 70s-90s and Japanese Memory firms like NEC+Hitachi that started South Korea and Taiwan's fabrication industries.

Taiwan didn't truly become a leader in the cutting edge fab space until the 2010s when US, SK, and Japanese players dropped the ball, and Apple chose TSMC in the 2010s due to their patent litigation with Samsung (nixing South Korea).
I don't think cash basis precludes having a liability on the books for un-delivered services. It just means you recognize the revenue when the payment is received. Lots of small companies use cash basis because it's simpler and easier to understand. IANAA.
None of that requires cellular connectivity. It can and was accomplished using only wifi sync at home. Live traffic information is (was?) broadcast on AM radio.
Or honestly maybe just bad luck. Lots of possibilities for just a one-off internet comment.

But yeah no doubt wise to do some self reflection and analyze what one could do better when trying again. One shouldn't just continue the same strategy without reflection when faluire occurs. But also don't be too hard on yourself, sometimes things just don't work out.
How do you know? Have you tried?

It is certainly harder to get published as an independent researcher, but it is also not unheard of. See discussion at: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_a_individual_without_a... Publishing your own study isn't the only way to critisise a hypothesis, you could also just write a rigouros blog post.

Also: Scientists are humans, not godlike beings in ivory towers, thus science lives from participation. If you can find a methological flaw in a study that you are confident about, consider writing them. Who knows, maybe they already accounted for it (and you learn something) or they didn't (and they learn something). Either way they get a chance to clarify or correct.

In the end the goal is to help figuring out what effective Alzheimers prevention looks like. Creating a good discourse around a study can be helpful, but it is also important to be rigorous and communicative when doing so. See as an example the discussion in the peer review of the discussed study, especially the section on survivorship bias: https://www.bmj.com/sites/default/files/attachments/bmj-arti...

If I wrote a study that has a flaw I'd like to be the first to hear about it, just like I like to get a bug report when my software has a bug. Especially if it is a good cause.

> > before modern times that was mostly from eastern and southern Europe, not from other continent

> Except for Turkey

The mass immigration from Turkey started in the 1960s, well into the modern era. There are plenty of Germans still living today who remember the era when Turks were a rarity in Germany.

No doubt there were Turks who settled in Germany, or the countries which would become Germany, well before then, but the mass immigration is very much a modern thing.

I had a cool idea for WiFi password provisioning once: it's possible to modulate the packet _length_ to transmit the SSID and the password. A new IoT device obviously can't decrypt the packets, but it can observe their length.

I even made a sample implementation for Linux. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a single IoT chip that would give low-level access to the PHY good enough for this :(

Reverse engineering as a last resort or is this not possible?
So awesome! Been waiting for this for a while. There aren't a lot of people out there dedicating their efforts to open source hardware, and I've been really impressed at how well MNT Research has done thus far. Can't wait to try out this machine once it's finally built and shipped!
"Shipping the private key" does not meet the bar for "good". You still need a way to establish trust in your key distribution and also implement the system correctly. The proper way to secure access to a physical thing you own is to only communicate directly with that thing.
I think things generally start off as experiments in first world countries then trickle down eventually to third world countries. That's just the reality. 20 years ago not everything could be digitized because internet/smartphone access isn't widespread, but now more or less every single person on the planet has some sort of internet access. Things change eventually, they gotta start somewhere.
I would love a wiki of vehicles for simply 'how to rip out the SIM card'

I thought I saw instructions somewhere for my 2020 prius but can't find it now. a few reddit threads asking about it, I like the suggestion that even if its eSim or somehow embedded in the cellular modem, "Disconnect the antenna! / shunt the telecommunication modems antenna with a resistor shunt. It will trick the radio into thinking the antennas still connected but won't allow any data to be going out they just won't get signal"

> Leaving the EU didn't mean it got to sail away to a new place, it just meant no longer having a powerful seat at the table.

Not necessarily: it could also mean that rather than being one voice among 28 in negotiations, they are now one voice against one (the EU as a whole). Potentially. More pessimistically, 3.6 trillion versus 19.4 (in terms of GDP). Or more pessimistically still, as you indicate, no voice versus one.

I think that the truth is somewhere between those options.

I thought by definition you never have any revenue liability on the books (no unearned revenue) with cash basis because you’re recognizing the revenue on the date the cash is received. Nothing is deferred therefore no liability.

An onboard database and a GPS receiver?
Decades ago, when The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs taught us that programmers fundamentally do two things: abstraction and combination; and we are interested in programming languages insofar as they provide means to those two ends.

The two classic "hard problems" of computer science - cache invalidation and naming things - are both aspects of abstraction. Cache invalidation is a special case of making sure the abstraction does what it's supposed to, and naming is the most important part of causing the abstraction to have meaning.
> rural living gives you less choice in company increases the degree to which you invest in the relationships that happen to be around

I lived in New York at some point, and experienced the opposite of this first hand. In my experience, in NYC, it's easy to end with a lot of acquaintances but few real close friends.

At least in the social circles I moved around, everyone was always looking for "the next thing". There was an intense sense of impermanence. The next apartment, because the current one isn't great. The next job, because one can always do better. The next friend, because there's always more people to meet.

Especially in a city as romanticised as NYC, where a lot of people arrive with the expectation to live their best lives, make it big, and/or meet the most interesting people, I think people get used to the idea that something better is always around the corner.
The WiFi (& Bluetooth) IC used in the Pi Pico W retails for ~$2.5, and presumably a bit less in volume (considering the Pico W is only $2 more than the base Pi Pico.
Most comment here are not related to the problem, which is your interest & my interest & interest of 98% of HN others at least conflicting with the interest of those who control how humans vote. We know how things ought to be if everyone wanted them to be good for most humans. None of this discussion will however convince anyone to work more altruistically in reality.

Those who control the public opinion know that there's some opposition who confuses the problems with the conflict. They laugh since no one who thinks legislation like in the link would be generally bad can do anything. The ignorant will vote what the Orwellianishly-named "smartphone" will command them.

In the next five years, it's likely the option to stab the kings will be for the first time removed, since robotic militias will mean no insurance CEO can simply be shot. This means there will be zero limits to what cruelty they'll do you, since no matter how torturous it gets you'll be unable to even violently resist this. You'll have no democratic mouth, but you must scream. Completes cyberpunkization well.

Aside: US drones + US satellites that enable global connectivity of drones was a rather obvious consequence of Starlink ~4 years ago. If they really want some person, they now can search most of Earth in few hours with the drones + computer vision, and soon with land robots, all connected through Starlink (starshield to use the euphemism). The irony is how this at the same time solves the connectivity problem.

I'm not so sure. The study didn't stipulate that taxi driving was the patient's last occupation, nor how long they did the job for.

Also, with Alzheimers, aren't older memories the last to go? A driver would probably be more likely to have trouble finding their keys before they forgot the streets they'd been driving for 30+ years. At that point, it would be hard to train for another job.

Additionally, I've never heard of a cab driver losing their license for getting confused en route. Taking the wrong way on purpose can lead to some disciplinary action, but even that is rarely if ever pursued.

The purpose of this library is to make it easier to modify existing code, eg to make existing classes implement new interfaces. In particular, it seems to be used for Minecraft modding.
Perhaps that came across wrong, no shade intended, what was meant was that ghostty seems to be like all the other mature GPU based emulators. Which means there's no damage reporting to a display server or anything like that. I don't think it's quite the deal breaker the GGP implies.
Apple's new product lifecycle is on life support, particularly with AI. 10 years ago Apple had the right idea - invest in OpenCL, court AMD and other GPU makers and unify on a competitive, complex GPGPU standard. Nvidia would have stood no chance, even if they continued researching AI.

What baffles me is that Apple abandoned this completely sound theory for a risky (and entirely incorrect) bet on NPU hardware. They left OpenCL to bleed out, they simplified their GPU hardware to specialize functionality better, and ended up putting all their chips on the wrong bet. Now they pay OpenAI to run their models on Apple hardware, and apparently can't even do that without help from Nvidia too.

It'll be interesting to see what future generations make of Tim Cook's leadership. He started the decade so strong picking up right where Jobs left off, and ended the decade with several antitrust lawsuits, ballooning subscription services and the professedly failed launch of one Vision Pro headset. Perhaps Apple needs a decade to file a few of their own rough edges down again.
I just really wish they would just allow microG, sandboxed in the same way as Google services (like DivestOS does), behind as many security warnings as they see fit.

To me this is besides the point.

LLMs obviously have use cases but the market has practically priced in "AGI".

The danger is not that LLMs take jobs. The danger is that we are in a massive bubble and while these are nice tools they are not worth anything close to the trillions of dollars bet on them.

IMO the psychology at work here is basically denial that we can both be in the biggest bubble of all time in terms of dollars and LLMs are useful. Just not THAT useful.

The Espressif chips are WiFi ICs. You can buy the bare chips, connect over SDIO, load the hosted firmware, and use them as WiFi radio chips.

For volume production (10K, 100K, or more units) you can get other WiFi ICs that are cheaper than buying an ESP32 module. The difference is that other companies don’t care about engaging the hobby and low volume markets so they don’t put an effort into making them cheap.

If you’re doing one-off builds, you’re at the mercy of whoever decides to make an effort to make things cheap and accessible. Some companies deliberately make their products hard or even impossible to access for hobbyists because it’s not worth it unless you’re the hobbyist market leader (Espressif)
Sorry if the post sounds too marketing-heavy. I'm sharing this case study because it addresses a common technical challenge: scaling a high-traffic application (Kwai, a video platform) from traditional MySQL to a distributed database system. It describes the journey from managing 300+ MySQL shards to consolidating into a single 400TB cluster using OceanBase, handling over 1 million QPS during peak loads. While the post is oriented towards promoting OceanBase, it resonated with developers because it provides specific technical details about real-world scaling problems, architecture decisions, and performance metrics that many engineering teams face when growing beyond traditional MySQL setups.

If you think that that gets you the latest patches to all possible software you may have installed, you may want to avoid people offering to sell you bridges. It’s an illusion - you’re relying on the best effort of volunteers “maintaining” an insane amount of software packages (both from bugs and security and often ignoring upstream or even having upstream treat them as outsourced support). I would point you to qBitTorrent having a 10 year bug where they didn’t verify SSL certs as an example of the kinds of bugs that you need broader in depth security mechanisms to keep you safe.
